Here there are Letter Boxed November 07, 2022 Answers from New York Times Games. Our solutions and answers are 100% valid and accurate. We suggest to try and solve the game by your own before using the help of our website.
Sides of this Letter Box are:
UNZLORIYSATC
The answers are:
ULTRASONICCOZY
CZARINAS STOUTLY
Czarinas Stoutly here as well. Lots of possibilities with this array! Looking for someone to make use of Crayons or Zircon. Jill used Zirconic but the puzzle wouldn’t accept it when I tried it…
Same here. ZIRCON and ZIRCONIA are not allowed to be plural!?
Evidently, they’re treated as uncountable nouns. ZIRCONIC, however, ought to be accepted.
I got the same. Thinking all the while, my kingdom for an E!
Same
ULTRASONIC CRAZY
Same here
Consular-ritzy.
Finally, I did not have to post same or official in my comment and a 13/2 bonus. It’s going to be a great day.🙂
Love this amswer, TK! Top grades for thematic integrity!
Neatly done, TK!
Same here
Consular – Ritzy
Went for a long one today:
ZIRCONIC – CONSTITUTIONALITY @ 25/2
I toyed with Zirconic, but it wasn’t accepted?
ZIRCONIC should have been accepted. It’s a real word. ZIRCONIAS – SULTRY should also have been accepted. This word list is endlessly frustrating. (I’m still traumatized by the fact that it doesn’t include CRAMPY!)
I’m of two minds about rejected words.
If Merriam Webster or Collins includes it, I go with it too.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/zirconic
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/crampy
But if, on the other hand (for example), I find my search autocorrecting to two separate words, as it did with brick maker a couple of days ago, I accept defeat and move on.
We love this game! I feel that when the accepted word list is genuinely flawed, we should hold our ground.
I had CONSTRUAL – LAZILY at 15/2
Same.
Theme : “Ok, ok, I finally understand.” 🙂
Same here.
Zinc Claycourts
Excellent answer, Gill, ripe with thematic integrity…
That’s what I thought Bernie 😉
This is a great solution! But I’m amazed that the word list includes CLAYCOURTS. To my mind, that ought to be two words, not one. 🤷♂️
I was surprised but pleased that I could then get on with my day
I finally worked out the official solution, after looking into stuff like CONTRAILS, INCRUST, CRUSTILY, INTRAZONAL, SAUCILY, LINOCUTS, CRAZILY, ZONARY, SNOUTY, ZIRCONIA, SULTRY, CLARITY, & various AUTO-s, ULTRA-s, OUT-s.
INTRAZONAL is a good find. I knew there was something I could put before “zonal” (I thought maybe “trizonal”) but couldn’t find it. LINOCUTS is really nice too!
Some random marginally “interesting” stuff I found before stumbling into officialdom includes:
CRAYONS SLUIT (Z)
CONSTITUTIONAL LAZY (R)
ANTITRUST
CLASTIC
CONTRAIL
CRAYONS
CRUSTY
CULTURAL
LYRICS
OZONIC
SOYA
TONALITY
TYRANTS
‘INSULARITY’ was also a non-starter
I got intrazonal/lusciously
Nice use of INTRAZONAL, Geeb! In fact, I didn’t insist much on it, with the aftertaste of yesterday’s fruitless discussion over time zones & the like…
AUTOSTYLIC CZARINA
Laugher-rewording
ultrasonic – crazy
Just the official answer for me today.
CZARINAS STOUTLY
Loving all the variations. I had a crazy day, so, instead of getting to ULTRASONIC – CRAZY before my last sip of coffee, I’ve just barely nailed it before my first sip of wine 🙂
The official ultrasonic cozy
whaler-hounding
for Nov 8
whaler-hounding
Oops thats WHALER-ROUNDING
for Nov 8
Nov 8:
UNHEARD – DOWELING
(will repost when the new day’s thread is up)
11/8: WHEALING – GROUND 14/2. I’ll be reposting on the appropriate field as soon as it emerges -we’re still in a muddle with the timing, it seems…
…shortened to WHEALING – GOURD 13/2, while we wait…
My process, too: from WHEALING-GROUND to WHEALING – GOURD. After several longer solutions.
NOV 8
UNREWARDING GHOUL
Donald tRump
Plain old Rewarding Ghoul here. Still Trumpish, though.
Also evokes Trick-or-Treaters, to hark back to Halloween.
Aha, got it! A Trick-or-Treater dressed as 45!
Have had an eye out for ghoul. Can’t believe I missed it today!
Much less satisfying Doughier-Renewal for me.
Who’s setting up access to the correct date ?
Is there some DAWDLER ROUGHING it ?
I got DRAWLER ROUGHING 😛
REWARDING GHOUL
November 8 Solution…
Got HOWLING GAUDIER
Didn’t get to the puzzle until late, but I got HOWLING – GAUDIER too. What’s up with date? And what was the official solution?
rewarding – ghoul

===============
DOWNHAUL—LOGIER
DOWNHAUL—LEARNING
DOWNHAUL—LOWERING
Theme for : DOWNHAUL—LOWERING
“Fix that rigging!” ⛵
Not great, I know, but since I just learned that a DOWNHAUL is part of a sailboat, I had to stretch it. My paddleboard/kayak does not have that type of rigging. 😄
Note to Website Administrators:
==========================
From my view, the site has three issues:
1. The date functionality is broken on the web forms. Or at least it’s lagging behind the current date.
2. I occasionally get “Cannot Connect to Database”. I believe this too lies on your side.
3. Sometimes I get “Your comment is awaiting moderation”, but then never returns.
Please look into these issues as your site has provided good fun and collaboration amongst the game players. Thank you.
Mark,
As a sailor, I can tell you that DOWNHAUL – LOWERING is a truly evocative pair– bringing to mind the unexpected weathers that often occur under sail.
With gale force gusts and lowering clouds approaching, we tighten the downhaul and beat upwind through choppy seas, under storm jib and reefed main.
Jill,
I can see it!
Thank you for that imagery.
I had HEADWORD – DUELING
I wonder if we’ll ever learn what the official answer is for Nov 8. Maybe not until Nov 9!
While waiting for the official to load I kept going today:
WHALER – ROUNDING
ADORING – GUNWHALE; and my favorite
LAUGHER – REWORDING -which describes my activity this morning!
It’s been a long time since I got a two-worder. Whealing/ground, like others.
Wordier / Rehauling 16/2
Just shut up and get it out of here!
Perhaps you have all intimidated the official website administrator with your clever solutions…
Is anyone else suffering a feeling of abandonment?
And we don’t even know who has abandoned us!
As long as it’s not you & your prowess in rhymes, we have little to worry about, Jill!
WEALING – GROUNDHOG 16/2
The wordplay anoraks’ Groundhog-Day routine has been dealt kind of a blow, to some extent -indeed!
ON THE HIGH SEAS OF ABANDONMENT
Like the lowering skulk of a groundhog hound
Or the rounding obsession of Melville’s whaler,
Today’s thread is a whealing ground
In the harsh unpresence of some ghoulish dawdler.
If you’re out there, hear our gaudier howling:
On the seas of abandonment, our boom is downhauled
Tacking through evermore wordier rehauling
Gunwhales awash, a crew disenthralled.
We beg you, cease this emotional wheal
And tend once again our two-headed word duel.
Signed (for us all), an adoring word-fool.
🙏 🤞
Too good! Thanks, Jill!
HARDWEARING-GHOUL
It’s odd that there is no fix for today’s page. In case this site goes defunct, I will set up an alternative. Y’all are too much fun not to interact with. Keep an eye out here in case.
Brilliant! that we can be self-sufficient.
I feel like Twitter would be a sufficient platform if we don’t mind creating accounts 😛 Though curious what you come up with~
It’s not a first, however; when I run the full archive, I seem to remember a couple of dates missing, amirite -the Old Guard may back me up (looking at you, Bernie)?
As this site no longer seems to be working
https://letterboxedsolution.com/2022/11/08/new-york-times-nyt-letter-boxed-answers-and-solution-for-november-8-2022/
REWARDING GHOUL for me too. I got nervous when I couldn’t seem to share my answer. Let’s hope the site figures itself out.
So that’s the official answer revealed, then, not without flaws itself though (the attached YouTube video wouldn’t load). Interesting to note that the number of words listed peaks at 7 letters…
OK- moving on to November 9:
BLACKSMITH – HARP
